Default Which Skunk2 Cams Should I Use?

Im building a motor which is going to be ls/v boost. As far as the parts i have for the head this is my set up

Skunk2 Pro Cam Gears
Skunk2 Pro Dual Springs
Skunk2 Titanium Retainers
Skunk2 Pro Series Valves
Skunk2 Fuel Rail
Edelbrock Victor X Intake Manifold
Blox 72mm Throttle Body

I was wondering which Skunk2 Cams should i be using Stage 1,2 or 3? Im looking from 600-650 hp.

Get the TURBO stage 2 cams. The regular cams will ruin your setup because of increased overlap... They make cams specifically for turbo cars, that is what you need to get...

good choice the pro1s are the best cams to go with on a turbo build. they put out more power than the stage2 turbo cams and the pro2s have too much overlap
